The
short vita: Professor at CWU
since 1996, Mechanical Engineering Tech. Coordinator, FEF Key Professor and
Coordinator of Industrial Technology, Cast Metals Specialization. |

Dr.
J is currently teaching mechanical engineering technology classes such as
MET257 Casting,MET426 Applications in Strengths of Materials, MET 351 Materials
and Processes, MET 420 Finite Element Analysis, MET 382 Plastics and Composites
and MET483Ceramics and Composites. He has a secondary education degree (i.e.
taught high school physics) and enjoys creative learning.
Dr. Johnson is also the Foundry Education
Foundation 'Key Professor' and is a professional engineer (WA#36590) qualified
in metallurgical engineering. He regularly certifies welders and
procedures with the City of Ellensburg. The IT Cast Metals Program is
accredited through FEF. The introductory casting course is generously
supported by industry. Students also have resources such as SolidCAST(TM)
simulation tools.
His hard research involves materials, casting
and forming techniques. Significant work concerns optimization, with some
environmental and NDE activity. Historically, he's worked on the space station
designing leak detection systems for the two-phase heat transfer equipment (NDE
Tech. Inc. for NASA Marshall, phase I,II). He has worked with hypervelocity
impact systems simulating meteor impacts on satellite structures (JSC) and the
space tether project (Martin Marietta). While at UCLA he worked with Lockheed
on improving fracture toughness properties in Si/C reinforced Al2024 via
acoustic emission. And while at Rockwell he worked on structural material
development (Titanium Aluminides) for the NASP X-30. He brought his interests
in titanium to Washington State University and studied superplastic forming
with Dr. C.H.Hamilton. At WSU he contracted projects with Boeing, GE, BAe, and
GM; after which he taught courses and developed their laboratory resources. Dr.
J. supported forensic metallurgy as a consultant, and he also became involved
with research with the WSU Veterinary School in horse leg injury management. In
specific, he spent three years investigating the mechanics of casts with pins
and the various loading scenarios of horse legs.. While employed at CWU he
participated in an Am. Chem. Soc. Summer fellowship at WSU with Dr. Bahr (re:
TMS 2001 Conf.) where he designed and implemented an SCC test on a macro scale
to compliment the previous micro work.
Current research includes a series of
engineering educational efforts (check the ASEE conference links). He is
active in education research and regularly presents at the ASEE Annual
Conferences. He has served executive positions in the Materials Division of
ASEE.

Dr. J has a life-long interest in aviation
and has a pilot's license. He is a Major and volunteers with Civil Air
Patrol(USAF Aux.) in aerospace education. Find out more about CAP at Civil AirPatrol. He is a member of the
Experimental Aircraft Association and builds aircraft. He currently owns
an AVID FLYER (two-place tube-and-rag)that he flew to Wisconsin in 2006 for EAA
AirVenture. He's also building a kitplane called a Sonex Sonex-Ltd.
and plans to build a Zenith CH701 Zenith
Aircraft Company. He is involved with Search and Rescue as a
volunteer with Kittitas County, as well as efforts through CAP and Washington
Air SAR.

He
is also an amateur radio operator (N7XEQ) with a 60'crank-up. He has a
few homebuilt telescopes (3", 4.5", 8",12.5"). Dr J
lives with his wife on their few acres outside of Cle Elum. They are
birders in the local Audubon chapter ( Kittitas
Audubon), and they designed and constructed (sweat equity) a house just off
runway 25 by Cle Elum Municipal Airport.
May
the road rise to meet you, and the wind be at your back; Dr. J.
